From Emmanuel kehinde, Ilorin
Clarion call on the National Leadership of the APC under Nentawe Yilwatda, His Excellency Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON, the Kwara State APC Leadership under Chief Sunday Fagbemi, Party elders, Stakeholders, Youths, Women groups, and Progressive-minded constituents across Ilorin East and Ilorin South to unite and rally behind Dr. Afees Abolore Alabi.
As political consultations and stakeholder engagements gradually shape the landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections, one name continues to resonate strongly across wards, communities, stakeholder blocs, youth groups, women associations, and party structures within Ilorin East/Ilorin South Federal Constituency, Dr. Afees Abolore Alabi (PhD; FNIVS; RSV; MFRCN).
A distinguished technocrat, grassroots mobilizer, administrator, and loyal progressive, Dr. Afees Abolore Alabi possesses the competence, political experience, administrative exposure, and grassroots acceptability required to effectively represent the people of Ilorin East/South Federal Constituency at the Federal House of Representatives.
Coming from Iponrin in Ilorin East Local Government Area, Dr. Abolore’s life journey reflects resilience, excellence, and commitment to public service. His educational attainments culminating in a PhD in Estate Management from the University of Lagos alongside his professional recognition as a Fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (FNIVS), clearly distinguish him as a man adequately prepared for the complex responsibilities of legislative representation.
More importantly, Dr. Abolore remains one of the few emerging political figures in Kwara State whose acceptance cuts deeply across both Ilorin East and Ilorin South Local Government Areas. His humility, accessibility, long-standing grassroots relationships, and sustained support for youths and vulnerable groups have endeared him to the people over the years.
Beyond political popularity, Dr. Abolore brings uncommon administrative capacity to the table, having served meritoriously in three strategic ministries under the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON between 2022 and 2026.
As Commissioner for Tertiary Education, he contributed meaningfully to policies and reforms aimed at strengthening educational development in the state. As Commissioner for Solid Minerals Development, he advanced conversations around economic diversification and investment opportunities within the sector. His most recent assignment as Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development further demonstrated his commitment to food security, rural advancement, agricultural empowerment, and sustainable economic growth.
Across these portfolios, Dr. Abolore distinguished himself as a result-oriented public servant with verifiable impact, sound policy understanding, and effective leadership capacity.
Politically, his performance during the 2022 APC House of Representatives primaries, where he emerged as the first runner-up, further confirmed his growing influence and widespread acceptance among party faithful and constituents alike.
Through initiatives such as SWELF and the Deji Alabi Youths Empowerment Foundation, he has continued to support thousands of youths, women, artisans, students, and vulnerable persons through empowerment programmes, educational support, and community-based interventions. These efforts have strengthened his reputation as a compassionate leader genuinely committed to the welfare of the people.
At a time when the constituency requires a vibrant, intellectually sound, accessible, and experienced representative capable of attracting federal opportunities and effectively articulating the aspirations of the people, Dr. Afees Abolore Alabi clearly stands out as the best suited aspirant to emerge as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 House of Representatives election.
His aspiration also aligns strongly with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, whose administration continues to pursue reforms aimed at economic recovery, infrastructural renewal, youth development, agricultural growth, and national prosperity. Dr. Abolore has consistently demonstrated unwavering support and commitment to the success and reelection of President Tinubu, while mobilising support for the progressive ideals of the APC across the constituency.
Therefore, as consultations continue ahead of 2027, this is a passionate call on the National Leadership of the APC under Nentawe Yilwatda, the Kwara State APC Leadership under Sunday Fagbemi, His Excellency Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON, party elders, stakeholders, youths, women groups, and progressive-minded constituents across Ilorin East and Ilorin South to unite and rally behind Dr. Afees Abolore Alabi.
With his experience, loyalty, competence, grassroots connection, and proven commitment to service, Dr. Abolore represents a fresh opportunity to redefine legislative representation, strengthen constituency development, and give the people of Ilorin East/South Federal Constituency the quality representation they truly deserve.
Indeed, the time has come for tested competence, inclusive leadership, and effective representation. The time is now for Dr. Afees Abolore Alabi.
